However, everything is easy to find at the grocery store.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the key ingredients to be aware of before making this recipe:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Canned Coconut Milk:&nbsp;<\/strong>Make sure to use full fat canned coconut milk and not the kind in a carton. Coconut milk can separate in the can, so it helps to shake your coconut milk first or whisk it together in a bowl before measuring it out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coconut extract:<\/strong>&nbsp;There&#8217;s 1 teaspoon each in the frosting and the cake batter. Don&#8217;t add more than the recipe calls for, as the coconut milk is also very flavorful.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sweetened shredded coconut:&nbsp;<\/strong>This ingredient is optional, but highly recommended. It amps up the coconut flavor even more while also adding texture to the cake.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg Whites:&nbsp;<\/strong>Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before mixing them. This will ensure that they reach their full volume and give you a softer, fluffier cake. If you need to get your egg whites to room temperature quickly, place the eggs in a bowl of warm water for 5 to 10 minutes, then separate them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px;

The basic steps for this recipe are: make the cake batter, bake the cake layers, prep the frosting, then assemble the cake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Prep the cake pans:&nbsp;<\/strong>Spray two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray, then line the bottoms with parchment paper. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pans.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine the dry ingredients:<\/strong>&nbsp;In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine the wet ingredients:&nbsp;<\/strong>In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and coconut extract.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream together the butter and sugar:&nbsp;<\/strong>I like to use my stand mixer for this step. Beat the butter until smooth, then add the granulated sugar and cream until light and fluffy. This will take about 5 minutes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the dry and wet ingredients to the butter mixture:<\/strong>&nbsp;I recommend adding the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the wet ingredients. Always begin and end with the dry ingredients.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px;

Or you can substitute the buttermilk in the cake batter with an equal amount of whole milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sweetened shredded coconut:&nbsp;<\/strong>Feel free to omit it from the cake batter, if desired. You may also use unsweetened shredded coconut if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canned coconut milk:&nbsp;<\/strong>Is a must in the cake batter. However, the canned coconut milk in the buttercream frosting may be replaced with heavy cream.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Storage &amp; Freezing Instructions&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>At room temperature:&nbsp;<\/strong>This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. You can also store the cake in the fridge for up to 4 days. If you chill the cake, allow it to come to room temperature before serving.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In the freezer:&nbsp;<\/strong>The cake layers and frosting will also freeze well for up to 3 months. Wrap the cake layers tightly with plastic wrap and store the frosting in a large freezer bag. When you&#8217;re ready to assemble the cake, bring everything to room temperature and frost the cake. You may also wrap slices of the cake tightly with plastic wrap and freeze them for 2 to 3 months. Bring to room temperature before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25581 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Coconut-Cake-2.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A piece of frosted coconut layer cake on a white speckled dessert plate with a fork. \" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Coconut-Cake-2.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Coconut-Cake-2.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Coconut-Cake-2.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Coconut-Cake-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Coconut-Cake-2.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Coconut-Cake-2.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Coconut-Cake-2.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"baking-tips\">\n<h2>Baking Tips&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Be sure to spoon and level the cake flour when measuring it out, rather than scooping it straight from the container. If you scoop it directly from the container, you&#8217;ll likely measure out too much by mistake.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before getting started. This includes the buttermilk (or milk), coconut milk, butter, and egg whites!<\/li>\n<li>If any egg yolks sneak into your egg whites, they won&#8217;t whip up properly. I recommend cracking each egg white in a separate small bowl, then adding it to your mixing bowl.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter. This is what makes the cake ultra light and fluffy!&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>I decorated my cake with a little bit of toasted coconut. You can find my tutorial on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-toast-coconut\/\">how toast coconut here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>More Coconut Desserts You&#8217;ll
